Secret Service Catches Mexican Official Stealing White House Blackberries At 3 Amigos Summit
No way you “accidentally” collect six blackberries, stuff them in your luggage, and almost board a plane. He stole the fuckers to gain points for finding what was on them. It’s called spying.
Whether he was up to no good or simply desperate to play BrickBreaker, a Mexican press attache was caught on camera by Secret Service pocketing several White House BlackBerries during the recent so-called Three Amigos summit meeting in New Orleans, FOX News has learned.
Sources with knowledge of the incident said the official, whose first name is Rafael, took six or seven of the handheld devices from a table outside a special room in the hotel where the Mexican delegation was meeting with President Bush.
Everyone entering the room was required to leave their cell phones, BlackBerries and other such devices on the table, a commonplace practice when high-level meetings are held. American officials discovered their missing belongings when they were leaving the session.
It didn’t take long before Secret Service officials reviewed videotape taken by a surveillance camera and found footage showing “Rafael” absconding with the BlackBerries.
Sources said “Rafael” made it all the way to the airport, where the Mexican president was preparing to leave New Orleans, before Secret Service officers caught up with him. He claimed diplomatic immunity, but was forced to return the BlackBerries.
Sources said the man claimed to have taken the devices accidentally. The sources said they believe no further actions were taken against him by American authorities, though it is unclear what disciplinary measures, if any, await him in Mexico. The U.S. government says it is further investigating the matter.

That works for freakin’ Fortune 500 board meetings, but this?!! What…Everybody was on their honor?!!
Hellooooooo Secret Circus! You’re always bragging about standing post by a dumpster in an alley, in the rain, behind a hotel, but you don’t have a live, sentient agent in the ROOM with what amounts to many filing cabinets full of extremely sensitive information?
Am I missing something here? Did the article leave something out? Was the door even locked?
April 24th, 2008 at 5:53 amA mexican declaring “diplomatic immunity”- what a f**kin hoot.
Bush, your a major chump on this mexico shit.
April 24th, 2008 at 6:01 amSorry your on a whitey guilt trip over the messicans, but your kind of a dope anyway.
I am surprised that Senor Bush didn’t make the intrepid Secret Service return the Blackberries to his Mexican Masters….next we will see some of the SS get fired for catching the thieving Mexican Diplowad!
April 24th, 2008 at 6:27 amPNG that fucker.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:11 amFuckin’ thieves………every one of ‘em. And the SS………..sheesh, what were you thinking?
At least they caught the bastard………though any sensitive information on the BB’s has no doubt been compromised.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:10 amHey, give Rafeal a break, he was just trying to pick fresh produce like the rest of his countrymen in the US, because that is all they are capable of doing…
April 24th, 2008 at 8:18 amThe Gov’t of Mexico shits on us everyday, why should this surprise anyone?
April 24th, 2008 at 8:38 amWell, why wasn’t anyone at the table “supervising” the blackberries. Can you imagine the classified info stored in the “save message” emails (even though I’m sure they are told not to save such messages).
April 24th, 2008 at 8:44 amwell illegals come here and pillage and pickpocket, why wouldn’t government officials or the mexican media?
April 24th, 2008 at 8:54 am…..just picking the blackberries nobody else will pick. I’m surprised he didn’t just claim he was a migrant form worker. That way he could have gotten WIC coupons and food stamps too.
April 24th, 2008 at 9:11 amHey Brad I’m mexican and very capable of joining the USMC. I nailed your statement.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:32 pm“I’m mexican and very capable of joining the USMC”

I tought here at pat dollards site people had some balls, I guess I was wrong just a bunch of liberals.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:28 pmWhat is your major malfunction? You don’t make a lick of sense.
If I was a liberal, I’d have been run off this site long ago. Is that the best you can come up with?
Tell you what, go join the USMC, like you say you’re capable of doing. Do your hitch, go fight and possibly die for America, then come back here and call us a bunch of liberals. 90% of us here on this site are or were in the military already, including your’s truly. And I’m sure they don’t appreciate being called liberals, hippies, with no balls.
